How it works

Five waypoints from application to take-off

A clear route you follow from your portal: you always know where you are and what comes next.

  1. 1

    Waypoint 1

    Sign in with Nafath

    Use your digital identity; your personal details fill in by themselves, marked «Verified».

  2. 2

    Waypoint 2

    Submit your application

    Pick a campaign, rank up to three preferences, upload documents and save a draft whenever you like.

  3. 3

    Waypoint 3

    Tests

    Qudurat, Tahsili and STEP results are fetched from their sources; book any extra test from your portal.

  4. 4

    Waypoint 4

    Interview

    Choose an interview slot from those available, then confirm or ask to reschedule.

  5. 5

    Waypoint 5

    Decision

    The decision reaches your portal, SMS and email — with the next step spelled out.

No application is rejected because of a technical failure — if a source can’t be verified, your record is reviewed by hand.

FAQ

Answers before you ask

Is there an application fee?

No, applying to every campaign is free.

How many preferences can I choose?

Up to three, in campaigns that allow concurrent applications, ranked by your priority.

What if my Qiyas or STEP result doesn't appear?

You can continue and upload the supporting document; we review manually — no application is rejected because of a technical failure.

Can I see my scores and rank?

You see your status and required actions; ranking scores and positions are internal.

How do I withdraw?

From «My preferences», pick the preference, choose «Withdraw» and confirm twice.

What if I don’t have a Nafath account?

Some campaigns allow signing in with your national ID and a one-time code sent to your phone; each campaign page says so.

Can I apply from my phone?

Yes. The portal is designed mobile-first and works on the latest two versions of the common browsers.
